OYS! (Oops, Yup, Sorry!) NQC is a software development tool which runs on
a non-RCX host machine and translates ASCII source code statements into RCX
internal bytecodes intended to be downloaded to the RCX unit for execution,
yes?
Would you classify NQC as RCX 'software' in the same sense as the other
items above in the .rcx.sw.* hierarchy? (All seem to be tool-software.)
How many efforts are currently underway to replace the firmware? Is legOS
way out in the lead? (Where does h8hforth sit, now and six months from
now?)
A second iteration then -- thinking long-term is the following
conceivable...?
lugnet.robotics Generic LEGO robotics
lugnet.robotics.events Miscellaneous robotics events
lugnet.robotics.events.robot-arena Robot Arena focus group
lugnet.robotics.rcx High-level RCX discussions
lugnet.robotics.rcx.fw General RCX firmware
lugnet.robotics.rcx.fw.h8hforth h8hforth focus group
lugnet.robotics.rcx.fw.legos legOS focus group
lugnet.robotics.rcx.hw General RCX hardware
lugnet.robotics.rcx.sw General RCX host software
lugnet.robotics.rcx.sw.botcode BotCode focus group
lugnet.robotics.rcx.sw.brickcmd BrickCommand focus group
lugnet.robotics.rcx.sw.gbp Gordon's Brick Programmer focus group
lugnet.robotics.rcx.sw.mindctl Mind Control focus group
lugnet.robotics.rcx.sw.nqc NQC focus group
lugnet.robotics.rcx.sw.rcxcc RCX Command Center focus group
Does that preclude anything? Does it miss anything important?

p.s. Thanks for the correction, Dave.

| (...) Exactly. (...) Yes, that's good. (...) One issue would be the potential merging of nqc/rcxcc since rcxcc is really a front end to nqc and shares the same language/constraints/etc. This is really a matter of philosophy - separate groups means (...)
